Well I wanted to create a coiled dipole like Moleculo did in an earlier thread. So with a little ingenuity my friend and I created a winder and used some magnet wire from Radio Shack. The coils below are the end result.

I am hoping to cover 10-15-20-40-80 meter.

I used 1 1/4" Electrical Conduit and about 70 wraps.

more pictures to come.

If that 'green' one was 'blue', I'd say they were built 'port/starboard'.

(What'a you mean -tried- to make yours look bad, 'Mole?)

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
